Original 'Scary Movie' stars Anna Faris, Regina Hall to return for sixth installment
Missed the chaotic duo of Cindy and Brenda from the Scary Movie franchise? Fans can finally celebrate as Anna Faris and Regina Hall are set to officially return for the sixth installment.
In a report by Deadline, the franchise veterans will reunite with the Wayans brothers—Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen—to develop the new film after a nearly 20-year absence from the series.
"We can’t wait to bring Brenda and Cindy back to life and be reunited with our great friends Keenen, Shawn and Marlon—three men we’d literally die for (in Brenda’s case, again)," Faris and Hall said in a joint statement.
Marlon, meanwhile, took to his Instagram account to tease a picture of Faris and Hall as their characters with the caption, "👀 SM6."
The two have starred in the franchise since the premiere of the first film in 2000. They went on to appear in the subsequent installments until their last appearance in Scary Movie 4 in 2006.
Scary Movie 5, which was released in 2013, featured Ashley Tisdale, Simon Rex, and Erica Ash in the lead roles.
The Wayans brothers previously announced that they would come together to write the screenplay for the sixth film.
They will also be collaborating with film producer Rick Alvarez, who has worked with them for some of their most popular films, such as White Chicks, A Haunted House, Little Man, Fifty Shades of Black, and more.
"We couldn’t be more excited to be a part of the new Scary Movie and work with each other again," Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen said.
"This is a franchise we created more than 20 years ago. We remember people laughing in the aisles and hope to see that happen again. We look forward to working with Jonathan Glickman and his team at the new Miramax to bring these laughs to theaters, where they belong. It’s a double reunion," they added.
The Scary Movie franchise is known for parodying popular horror movies. Some of the works that it has spoofed include Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Exorcist, The Ring, Saw, The Grudge, Paranormal Activity, and more.
